Dance Like Shadows

She was a girl who liked to drink
Just happy to be alive
She was the type who's makeup never told the whole story
So much more than met the eye

She had a life laid out before her
She refused to look behind
And I would think "Just maybe, we're two of a kind."

We used to kiss behind her favorite bar
And stay out all night underneath the stars
Where I'd hold her waist while talking to her friends
And we'd dance like shadows on a sunny day
Until the rain came to wash our sky away
And now I lay here all alone under these sheets
Where I used to watch her sleep

She was a girl who liked to dream
At any given time or place
She was the one who always made sure that I was laughing
When I'd fall flat on my face

She had a playful disposition
She was a glass filled up with charm
And I would tell my friends "Oh, love can be so strong."

We used to kiss behind her favorite bar
And stay out all night underneath the stars
Where I'd hold her waist while talking to her friends
And we'd dance like shadows on a sunny day
Until the rain came to wash our sky away
Now I lay here all alone under these sheets
Where I used to watch her sleep

Oh I learned it hard, the summer always ends
And promises blow off in the wind
So I'll remember her for the things we did
That I can never do again

We used to kiss behind her favorite bar
And stay out all night underneath the stars
Where I'd hold her waist while talking to her friends
And we'd dance like shadows on a sunny day
Until the rain came to wash our sky away
Now I lay here all alone under these sheets
Where I used to watch her sleep
